9 Nekos of Fortune™ Brings Japanese-Inspired Gameplay to Hard Rock Bet Casino
Games Global has released a new exclusive slot for Hard Rock Bet Casino in New Jersey, strengthening its partnership with the U.S. operator. The title, 9 Nekos of Fortune™, was developed by Games Global’s partner studio Gameburger Studios and is designed specifically for the Garden State’s online players.
Exclusive Content for U.S. Players
The partnership between Games Global and Hard Rock Bet Casino has grown steadily in 2025. Earlier collaborations included the debut of the Bonus Spins promotional tool and the launch of the custom-built Hard Rock Splash ‘n Spin Link&Win™.
With the addition of 9 Nekos of Fortune™, Hard Rock Bet Casino continues to expand its library of exclusive content tailored for New Jersey customers.
The new slot draws inspiration from Japanese popular culture and features the iconic maneki-neko, a symbol of good fortune. Core gameplay includes the Epic Strike™ mechanic, a feature familiar to many Games Global players. Landing between three and nine maneki-neko icons can award prizes worth up to 2,000 times the stake.
The game also introduces a Bonus Spins Wheel, triggered by three scatter symbols. Players can receive between 10 and 30 free spins, with multipliers of 2x or 3x applied to boost potential payouts. These mechanics are intended to add variety and replay value, while maintaining the fast-paced style that online slot players expect.
Focus on Custom Experiences
Games Global has emphasized its strategy of building tailored content for regulated U.S. markets. By leveraging its network of independent studios, the company develops bespoke titles designed to match local preferences and operator needs.
Joann Pierce, Chief Commercial Officer at Games Global, highlighted the importance of this release: “This release signifies Games Global’s intent to strengthen its position in regulated U.S. iCasino markets, where we have committed to delivering content that aligns with player preferences. Hard Rock Bet Casino is a valued partner, and this continued collaboration allows us to support Hard Rock Bet Casino with custom-built products designed specifically to resonate with players.”
Hard Rock Bet Casino, which operates in New Jersey’s competitive iGaming market, has focused on a player-first strategy. Its library already features successful exclusive titles such as Hard Rock Gold Blitz™ and Iron Eagle Power Combo™.
Rich Criado, VP–Casino at Hard Rock Digital, said the latest release continues that approach: “At Hard Rock Bet Casino, we take a player-first approach to everything we do, and that means delivering quality experiences our customers have come to expect. The 9 Nekos of Fortune™ release is another exciting addition that strengthens our offering and gives our New Jersey players even more ways to enjoy premium gameplay.”
